The notices began to appear at around 3:45 p.m. EST and came complete with some heavy wording, for instance:

"Remembering Mark Zuckerberg. We hope people who love Mark will find comfort in the things others share to remember and celebrate his life. Learn more about memorialized accounts and the legacy contact setting on Facebook."

Yikes!

The company hasn't explained just what caused the glitch — but after the apocalyptic week we just had, it seems like a social media rapture couldn't come at a better time.

See what the affected users had to say about the eerie anomaly (below):

As we previously reported, Britney Spears' baby daddy has requested an increase in his $20K a month child support stipend. While it's said that Godney isn't THRILLED at the request, she's letting her poppa negotiate a deal with KFed.

And it appears that negotiations are well under way, though Mr. Spears is NOT impressed with his former son-in-law!
